I’m a couple of days late for the carnival, but I have been wanting to share about a wonderful book I read last week called Love Walked In by Marisa De Los Santos.
The story centers on Cornelia Brown and Clare Hobbs, who don’t know each other at the beginning of the story, but who, when they meet, change each other’s lives forever. I was completely enchanted by De Los Santos’ writing and her characters, by Cornelia’s constant references to classic films, and by her observations about love and family.
I may never have seen this book, except that a coworker who is moving to Las Vegas, Nevada, brought in a pile of books that she didn’t want to pack and move with her. A bunch of us in the office are going to circulate them around, so I picked out just a few to start. Here are some of the other titles I grabbed:
- Three Junes by Julia Glass
- Love in the Time of Cholera by Garcia Marquez
- The Pilot’s Wife by Anita Shreve
- The Boy Next Door by Meg Cabot (for a bit lighter fare, but fun because the story is told through emails between the various characters)
